2 UNCLE HENRY'S RETURN. OR NOT AT HOME. AN elderly man shabily, attired was seen walking through one of the fashionable streets in a large city one cold December day. His coat was coarse gray and had evidently seen hard service, though still whole and neat. The trav eler walked slowly along, as I have said, examining carefully as ho passed, the names on the door plates, lie finally paused before a dwelling of showy exteri or, which if we may credit the testimony of the plate upon the door, was occupied by Alexander Beaumont. "Alexander Beaumont?" Yes that's the house." murmured the traveler to himself, as he ascended the steps and rang the door bell ? Ills summons was answered by a ser vant who, after a moment's . scrutiny, which was not apparently of a favorable character, said roughly. ' Well sir what do you want ?'! "Is Mr. Beaumont at homo?" asked tho old man : without heeding the inten tional rudeness. " No, sir, he is not." " Then perhaps I can see his wife ?" " I think it is ...

4 NEW I1LO0MFIELI), PENN'A. Tuesday, April 19, 1S70. Amikauy wo have reports i'rom sever al Hections of tlio country of severe thun der Htorms, in which liven have been lost. The contest in Congress over the seat in the fifth Pennsylvania district has been closed by the House awarding the seat to Colonel Taylor, who has accordingly been sworn in. Amono the cases requiring the atten tion of the coroner in the city of London for one (lay were nine cases where death resulted from starvation. No wonder the Knglish and Irish poor arc anxious to em igrate to this country. The number of murders and robber ies which occurred in Philadelphia, the porpetrators of which go undetected, would seem to indicate, that cither their detective system, or the detectives them selves need reconstructing. The Canadians are now having their annual scare over the threats of a Fenian iuvasion. The only way for them to rid themselves of that trouble is by coming under Uncle Sam's control and protec tion.

Then tho door opened and Harry Houghton ran in his curls wet with the fog of tho morning, his cheeks rosy as from a rapid ride, his eyes dancing with excitement. His father and mother stood speechless and bewildered filled with a new alarm. But the boy was too busy with his own thoughts to observe his reception. Thick and last came his words, questions wait ing for no answers and narrative never pausing for comment. " What is this Bixby shouted to mc when I met him about robbers ?

A correspondent of the Inquirer writing from Nine Points, Lancas ter county, says : Broom-corn lias not received tlie cultiva tion and attention which its importance in the family of domestic plants, and the liigh price which it commands, entitles it to. To most farmers it is a crop about which they have little experience and information and now, that its cultivation is beginning to bo regarded prolitablc, many incpiiries aro made concerning it. As regards its cultivation that is the same as other corn ; the only difference is it must bo planted thicker. Manufacturers like the brush fine, and consequently the corn ought to bo planted pretty thick in tho row, and cut off before it is fully ripe, about the beginning of September ; then the brush will have a uniform color, which is very desirable, as brooms of a uniform, greenish color wi...

4 NEW BLOOMFIELD, PEXN'A. Tuesday, May 1S70. On the 23rd ult., Application was made to the Supreme Court, at Philadel phia, by counsel on bcluilf of several llailroad Companies for injunctions to restrain the revcuuc officers from assessing and collecting an income tax from these corporations for 1870. The bill raises the question whether the act authorizing the collection of this tax continues for 1870. The U. S. Dist. Att'y. appeared for the revenue oflicers,and after some dis cussion, it was agreed to allow the in junction to issue for the present. After hearing argument, a temporary injunc tion was granted. In financial circles the legal tenders decision continues to be the subject oi much discussion. Some argue that were the present decision to stand, every sol dier and Government contractor, whose relations withtheGoveruiiicut commenced prior to the passage of the Legal Tender Act, could now collect the difference be tween gold and greenbacks. .Several hundred thousand men con...
